Answer: the lengths are 20 feet, 23 feet and 37 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter side of the triangular deck.

The second side of a triangular deck is 3 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that the length of the second side is (x + 3) feet.

The third side is 3 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that the length of the third of the triangle is (2x - 3) feet.

If the perimeter of the deck is 80 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 3 + 2x - 3 = 80

4x = 80

x = 80/4

x = 20

The length of the second side is

20 + 3 = 23 feet

The length of the third side is

20 × 2 - 3 = 40 - 3 = 37 feet

Solve: <br> 6f-7z where f=3 and z=2.
vivado [14]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 6f - 7z, where f = 3 and z = 2. Essentially, we just plug in these values:

6f - 7z

6 * 3 - 7 * 2

18 - 14

4

The answer is thus 4.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. G IS A DEPENDENT VARIABLE

2.U IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

Step-by-step explanation:

G is a dependent variable because its values will rely on the values of U multiplied by 748. A dependent variable in most cases is isolated on one side of an equation ( mostly the left-hand side) and it value is affected by the values selected on the other side of the equation.

U is an independent variable because it stands on its own such that it does not rely on the behavior of another variable to determine its value/characteristic.Characteristic here i mean , U is freely selected without considering the behavior of other variable, thus it does not face any restrictions as compared to G.
